Peach and Grapes

For this tutorial you will need Jasc PSP 9 . This was written using 9 but it can be done in 8 or 7 with a few adjustments.

Below is the smudge settings I used.

Air brush settings.

Right click and save color chart to your puter.

Open transparent canvas 300X300. Background color FFC521 foreground color set to nil. Use preset shape ellipse to make your peach shape. Turn peach to the right a little. On the top node right click on the node choose symmetric, right click again and choose cusp. Grab top node and pull up on the handles do the same with the other one.

When you get it like you want save then duplicate close one. I always have one saved in vector. Convert to raster layer. Click on selection tool, (keyboard short cut) Ctrl+A,F then save to alpha channel. Keep selected and add new raster layer,

Set foreground color to 2nd color on chart and background to 3rd color. With 2nd color spray peach as shown in screen shot. Smudge change rotation to 143.

Add new layer and use 3rd color. Spray as in screen shot. Smudge

Add new layer spray again using last color.  Lightly spray some of the yellow areas too. Smudge

Add new layer using last color make a small stem, then with the 4th color spray next to stem as in screen shot. Use soften tool.

That's all there is to making a simple Peach.

Grapes

Below is the colors I used for the 3 kinds of grapes.

Open a new image 500X100.  Set the background color to the first color in the first row set foreground to nil. Use preset shape tool/ellipse. Draw out 5 grapes different sizes and angles. Click on the lock in the layer pallet to lock the transparency. We are going to do the shading on just the one layer. Set foreground to 2 color and background to 3rd color. Spray the top half of grape with 2nd color. Lightly spray in spurts at the bottom. Use the 3rd color at the top, use the 4th color for the high light. Smudge in a circular motion. Below is what mine looks like before I smudged it. You can add more color and high light after you smudge if needed.

Below is my grapes done.

For the stems I just used the pen tool starting at 3 set at free hand. For the top part of them I used the pen tool for the background and foreground set to nil.

For those that aren't members you can get info here. It is a free group.

Hope everyone had fun with this. If you need any help just ask.
